5:35 pm
>> it's not surprising that a pattern emerged over the 5 and a half hours the secretary of state was questioned today. democrats gushing over her. republicans - with some very tough questions. things got heated. and clinton got angry. the secretary of state knew this was going to be a long day. she and the state department - accused of not doing enough to protect embassy workers. not making sure americans heard clear, honest answers as to what happened the night 4 americans died here in benghazi. >> "with all due respect. we have four dead americans. what difference does it make." in contrast.democrats were gushing. some hinting that they hope she runs for president in 2016. we also saw clinton getting emotional. as she talked about those who died.and their families. >> i saw the casket's being near president obama and as the caskets were moved off the plane i was standing with the families. >> catherine: clinton's bottom line.

deaunderpromise.... >> now, cook... perhaps the best strategy for him would be to make a cheaper iphone. >> catherine: people love the iphone they love the ipad. but there is a bit of a backlash against the company, itself. >> it is interesting that who wanted to purchase apple at $700 per share but now they do not want to purchase the stock at $500 per share. it has gone from $100.50 years ago and it is he doing its job. hyper growth companies, could become a growth company and that is
